Overview
- Rep. Jared Huffman and county leaders toured flooded neighborhoods and said the scale of inundation caught residents off guard.
- Officials confirmed the earthen Santa Venetia levee suffered overtopping, seepage and a partial collapse, putting roughly 600 homes at risk.
- Highway 101 was temporarily closed and access to Marin General Hospital was cut off at times during peak flooding, with no injuries reported.
- Temporary pumps in Marin City kept Donahue Road passable and homes dry, while sandbagging in places like Mill Valley and Corte Madera reduced damage.
- The county is preparing an emergency declaration and promoting a shovel‑ready $25 million sheet‑pile wall to replace the Santa Venetia levee, citing gaps in federal mitigation funding.
